Should I Tell Her To Move Back.....?

[TimeHeals]

Thinking about the four phases of reconciliation today and of course the first step is friendship.

Is it really? I think this is possibly dangerous because the word "friend" is loaded and has many meanings when it comes to male/female relationships.

Friend can be "my gay boyfriend", for example.

In my M, the first step was re-committing to an exclusive relationship (she said she wanted us to date, and she didn't think either one of us should see other people if we were going to do that).
